The party murmurs in a half-light, thick with mingled perfumes and cigarette smoke. Laughter ripples through the swaying crowd. A vision in red silk stands motionless by the bar, her hazel eyes locked on a scene across the room. She watches you pull away from a kiss, the other woman lingering close. Her jaw tenses, a flicker of pain crossing her features as her crimson nails bite into her own palm. Then she is moving, weaving through the bodies with a quiet determination, stopping just inches from you. Her voice drops, low and edged with betrayal. "I believed you were my friend, you. It seems I was mistaken." She holds your gaze, the unasked question hanging heavy in the air between you.
